HMS Alert

HMS Alert was a brig of the Royal Navy of Great Britain.

History
HMS Alert was captained by Sebastian Richardson, and it was built during the War of the Spanish Succession by the Royal Navy of Great Britain. The ship was sent after Jade Bison, a pirate ship owned by Brandon Elliott, and in 1722 it shot the masts off of the pirate ship. Elliott was captured by the British, and he was hanged along with his crew by the Royal Navy in Nassau.
